THISssss

Not sure if any Hoosiers follow me but I just learned this morning that this punish the poor bill has already passed out of senate in Indy ….

Canadians are indeed upset because they’ve clearly seen what normalizing insanity by the press has led us to here in the US. There has to be a better framing for this.

I wonder if you can guess, without reading the headlines, which TWO people in this picture just got fired from the Joint Chiefs. Go ahead, take a wild guess. Pick two.

Haskell Indian Nations University & Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute each lost >24% of staff in the past week, due to EO 14210 and the White House memo on hiring freezes. It’s interfering with courses, programs, student support services and the higher education STUDENTS PAID FOR.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

🚨Trump just fired Gen. CQ Brown and threatened more firings are coming. This isn’t strength—it’s the move of a weak, insecure tyrant. Gutting military leadership for loyalty tests puts US security at risk and sends a dangerous signal to our enemies. History will judge this—& those who stay silent.

I wish other commentators or journalists would refer to Musk the way Rachel Maddow does: as the President’s biggest campaign donor. Puts it all in perspective.

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

So much of the claims made by Doge advocates - and reporting on it - is so “math is hard” … starting with personnel costs are only 4% of the U.S. budget, so cutting even 25% would save 1%.

For all those American commentators telling Canadians to “calm down! It can never happen”….

It would be nice to see MDs going in the other direction for a change. Maybe some Canadian trained docs will also come back?

"Arms deliveries from the US to Ukraine have stalled. Even weapons meant for sale are now on hold. Companies ready to supply them tomorrow are waiting—no decision yet. Everyone expects a resolution so that arms can keep flowing, even for money," Head of Ukraine’s Defense Committee Roman Kostenko.

What could go wrong

STILL LIVID

Just saw an email signature that was longer than my standard CV. We're not doing this, I will not allow this to become a thing.

Fear and anger in Canada’s auto sector: Trump’s tariffs could bring the industry to a halt, experts say. If the tariffs threatened by Trump are enacted, tens of thousands of Canadian jobs will be at risk — some permanently — industry experts and economists warn.

⚡️Russian court issues first prison sentence under ‘LGBT extremism’ law. A district court in Kemerovo Oblast has issued Russia’s first prison sentence under the country’s ban on the so-called “international LGBT movement,” independent Russian outlet Mediazona reported on Feb. 19.

This is just one of the many evil and dehumanizing things happening in Indiana this year. To borrow from Pope Francis, "This will end badly."

I am LIVID

Racism toward indigenous women by the RCMP? My shocked face etc etc

Here’s what we are reading today: The U.S. seeks to control not only Kyiv's rare earth minerals, but also ports and infrastructure, oil, gas and 50% of mining revenues. The plan demands a higher share of Ukraine’s GDP than Germany’s WW1 reparations.
